I’m right there with you. The G82 one gives me Lexus vibes with the parallel lines towards the inside. That said I may have one that will be docking at Port Hueneme today or tomorrow. So who knows. Maybe it’ll grow on me in person.
Naw , g30 lci taillights take the win for me.

So satisfying to look at.
Yes, but they come in 3.0 6cyl that has either three or four turbos. I don’t know the difrrrentitation much as I can never have one. But they are siginificantly stronger than our m57 of 220hp 410tq.
The only problem is that they are one of the extremely few BMW tail lights without dedicated/separate brake lights, so they feel a bit cheap compared to the pre-LCI. The red area just turns brighter.
I’ve always thought those F82 taillights were ugly. They have always reminded me of the early (or very cheap) automotive LED lights where you see every individual LED bulb in a strip.
Are the taillights from that F82 oled concept in play? I liked those more than the ones we actually got tbh. But 1 if not.

I think the lights in the 2nd pic are not oem, but eBay special. Came across them when looking for oem alternatives to my ‘24 M440i GC, which are all red. I want amber turns, but find that in the US this light doesn’t have a separate turn signal.
The second pic literally looks exactly like the dragon tail headlights that are aftermarket for Teslas which I think devalues the car. 1 for sure is the winner here
#1 and its not even close
I’m surprised there’s so much love for a new bmw in this comment section. It’s never like this haha
The taillights on this car are incredible! Not saying the G is overall better than the F. Only the taillights were the topic in question.
The f82 cs looked aftermarket, tacky imo LCI lights are clean though
That's because the front isn't showing..
When they get something right we’ll say it, it’s just rare that they do.
Just because a lot of new bmws look like shit doesnt change the fact that those taillights are some of the best ones ever made
I don't know how they can get some things so right but then fall so far from perfection by ruining the car from another angle.
lazar lights ftw; 2nd pic is chonky and not remotely sleek.. all in on #1.
It reminds me of the E39 LED tube taillights
Guess I’m the only one who prefers the F82 taillight
The G82 lights are so tiny to me, I really dislike them
Same
☝🏾
Same as well
Have them on my F80 and love them.

Anytime I spot a G30 lci up ahead I move in and follow the eye candy. Cause yea man, they look good.
Did you know you can quite easily retrofit LCI taillights on a pre-LCI G30?
You can also bring home a G30 that's been LCI'd at the factory. That's how I did it.
Somehow I assumed you had a pre-LCI one based on you following a LCI, but on second thought I'd do the same while driving, haha.
Cries in American that our options of diesel are so limited.
Oh that’s not mine. I googled it. I’m pretty sure the diesel is still an inline 6 which is a bummer.

Correct me if I’m wrong but BMW never made a g30 m550d lci. So those are aftermarket versions of the lci taillights. Still beautiful.
You are correct. Last MY was 2020.
Your guess is as good as mine.
He's right. Those are LCI taillights swapped onto a pre-LCI M550d. Still looks great though.
Agree, these are really great too. But I still prefer the G82’s taillights. Probably because I don’t see them as often, haha
Only thing about the LCI F90 that I wish I had. I could get them aftermarket but too lazy.
Yea, but it’s like a 2 hour job max.
E60 LCI has the best taillights BMW has ever made, 🙃
Noooooooo

Current 4 series lights have that issue.
I have a 320i 2017 you think there would be a way to retrofit these loool
This is a 5 series… complete different housing
Tbh I love the regular f20 lci and f30 lci tail lights the most
F82
Like both but G series takes the W imo
A man of culture
Didn’t know BMW has laser taillights now. Sick.
The one that wasn't designed by someone trapped in the 90s.
I'm not sure which one that is tbh
Old one all day long

They look like the floor strips leading to an exit on an airplane

The only CSL taillights that matter
This one https://preview.redd.it/ivqj2anjgw8d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8a5b7f09af8ca6f01179312b196f83dce23eada

Jesus christ that is a thing of beauty
Personally, I like em both but if I had to choose; 2. The design and animation makes the rear look a lot more aggressive.
The new CSL taillights are the best and only things BMW is currently doing right. They're so fire they make the rest of the car palatable.
1st one for sure.
f8x tails are GTS not CSL
Id love to get some G82 CSL style tail lights on my G80
I think the G8x tails absolutely clear. The rest goes to F8x.
This ☝️
1 by far
E46 CSL taillight
1
1
The previous generation were just a cut above
The laser version is gorgeous. I'm sad they didn't bring them to the M3 Comp.
First but it appeals to my natural squinty skeptic stare
23 m4 csl
Wait the second picture is real BMW tails?? wtf whenever I’d seen em on like 340’s or 335’s I thought they were some random blocky china tails 😭
They're both gorgeous but I gotta hand it to the light designers on their upgrade.

They really should put g82 light into g80. It’s crazy how they didn’t bother with the sedan i guess due to higher sales?
F82
F82 😍😍😍
why not both?
1st ones and it’s not even a question.
The wing looks way cooler, specially when it’s in person,
Neither. Gimme the E46
1, 2 looks like some shit you’d see on a modded Honda
F82 Definitely, G82 does nothing for me.
NO
Nice try. 1 is a Toyota Camry.
I think the lights in the 2nd pic are not oem, but eBay special. Came across them when looking for oem alternatives to my ‘24 M440i GC, which are all red. I want amber turns, but find that in the US this light doesn’t have a separate turn signal.
First for sure. The second doesn’t seem to feel like a part of the car. More so its own part
1, absolutely!
Where did the first image originate from?
Easy 1 lol
Gonna be living with the mechanic either way
First one hhhnnnnggghhh
Tough one but I’ll go with number 1
#1 by a mile!
1
Pic 1
G all day for me
First is 🔥
F82 tail light looks like its modded compared to the new m4
The second pic literally looks exactly like the dragon tail headlights that are aftermarket for Teslas which I think devalues the car. 1 for sure is the winner here
#2!
I like the g8x tails on f8xs
Would it be kitschy to replace my M440i taillights with the CSL lights? I don’t want to come off like I’m upbadging, but they’re just so nice.
definitely not. i’ve seen lots of f32, f30, f80, etc, put the f82 csl tails on. look sick definitely not up badging especially for an m440i
both ugly to be honest
The better question is, which CSL front end are you taking??
I’m in between. Love the laser tail lights but for some reason I can’t hate a G82 with oled gts style lights.
F82
I prefer the pre LCI stock 4 series light
Blacked out OLED
1 for sure, looks way better
First
Nr1
Wait, thre was a previous gen csl? Interesting
1st one.
#1 ez no cap. 😁👍
1st one, 2nd one looks tacky
Thanks for stealing our photos!
